My doctor suggested it to me. I had not heard of it and I didn't go in to the appointment thinking about weight loss or asking for a pill for it. I brought up my weight issue when I mentioned that I had quickly gained a lot of weight after I went off of a med I was taking. I'm more than one hundred pounds overweight. I had heard of fen-phen from the late 90's that was taken off the market and he said that this is not the same thing. I have already started a reduced calorie, healthier eating diet and exercise program a month ago.

Anyway, if you have taken it did you like it? Anything you didn't like about it?

No, I don't take any pills, especially If I can't pronounce the name. I would Google it first before taking it. A good, healthy diet and exercise is better than taking pills which probably causes many side affects and could possibly be addictive.

I took adipex and lost 40 pounds in three months. When I got off of it, I gained 25 pounds back. I kept going on and off of it for over two years. It became an addiction. It also made me feel angry all the time and I had zero patience. It's safe to say I was a raging bitch irn this med. The weight loss was great but it doesn't last and the side effects ate horrible.
